What a week! I’ll give you the highlights before retiring for the evening to prepare for yet another…Monday My little guy missed his first day of preschool to get a replacement cast on his leg. The new cast spans from his tiny little toes to just short of his hip. The colour he chose? Bright yellow like his hero Greg Wiggle.Showed up late to my first university class of the semester. Faux pas was amplified when I:a) showed up with Starbucksb) found out that 30% of my grade hinges on punctuality and participation.TuesdaySpoke with an extraordinary mom. If you missed my interview with Joelle Boisvert, chairwoman of St. Boniface Hospital & Research Foundation’s second annual Cyclothon of Hope, in Saturday’s paper, click here.Had a panic attack about preschool starting up and ate a box of Halloween chocolates.Wednesday My son arrived in style at the preschool with his bright yellow cast. He then screamed bloody murder when I attempted to leave the room. My mound of text books and Tim Horton’s coffee were abandoned in the parents’ lounge as I participated in songs, stories and crafts inside the classroom.Signed up to be snack mom on Friday as to avoid more ear-piercing screams.ThursdayWent out for dinner with my husband. When the waiter asked if I wanted more wine or the dessert menu I laughed on both counts.Got home and opened mail. Received a beautiful card from Sister Mary Gorman, my grade 8 homeroom teacher. She loves my column. I fondly remembered a time when teachers were allowed to hug students.Friday Proudly watched my son scoot around his preschool class on his bum. My eyes watered when his teacher suggested the rest of the class do the same. Some people are too special to not be teachers.Saturday Spent time with my other child, the one who sleeps on my face every night and wakes me up every morning at 6 a.m. with the widest smile and an unreasonably long list of song requests.SundaySlept in (thankfully), family time, household chores, more family time, shopping for home improvements, more family time…blog…sleep…
